Picked it up for $48 at Gamefly with Mar20off code in case anyone is looking for a few bucks off. Training takes forever!!! Heheh Gonz

Sign was dorked up at a few weeks ago at a local bank and read -100 degrees. Wish I'd stopped to snag a pic. Didn't feel that far off at an actual -22 that day. Been brisk here in NE Wisconsin. I'm about done with winter now. Gonz

My 2 cents, but if your goal is speed then dump the v6 platform and start stronger. If the goal is just to make something unique then the TT v6 will certainly fit though. I had a '99 v6 stang that I had all sorts of plans to make fast (from cold air to engine swap). A mechanic friend...

Nope, no codes thrown. Kind if wish it would so I'd have a better idea of what's going on. G

I pretty much packed her away now for the winter so it looks like I'll have to revisit in the spring. Interestingly enough, I gave the right injectors a tweak before driving it back around to the storage shed and it almost seems like the idle may have improved. Fingers crossed on that. Thanks...

I'm not sure the ABS part excites me that much, but I like the Brembo brakes on the 2013. I can't compare them against any other Gen2 since I haven't ridden any others, but they are night/day better compared to my Gen 1. For ABS I can only speak about the recall annoyance and the likelihood of...

I read 'em all as a kid but trailed off somewhere in the Dark Tower series. Really got to get back and figure out what the heck ever happened to Rowland. :laugh: Regarding the movies... The problem is they keep trying to make the thick novels into movies which usually fall flat. You just...

What I wonder is whether the guys still has a job. It said he's a Lamborghini salesman, but he did it in a Mercedes. If I were his boss I'd be like, "What the hell man!?" Regarding doing it on a Busa, as soon as I win the lotto and can afford to buy my way out of jail I'll have a stab at...

Hey, been trying for the last few days to get into my garage to upload pictures or at least link to what I got out there. Board funkiness is still keeping me from getting in there though. As soon as it's worked out will post the latest. Honestly not much to look at right now. I have the...

My dad lives in Sussex so we get down your way from time to time as well. Will send out some feelers about the meet when things warm up again. BTW, must be nice to have a build shop close to home. Fuel Moto does good tune work, but aside from all the help on the board I'm on my own up here...

Badnblack, yeah, got to keep the spends a bit under control for now as the wife isn't too happy with the three Busas hanging out in my garage just now. :whistle: Are you in Appleton or nearby? Been talking to a couple guys about hooking up in the spring for a meet/greet. Would like to see...

40 next year here and glad to hear I'm not alone in wanting to keep 'hyper-sporting' now that I'm, ahem, middle-aged. :laugh: Friends are all switching over to cruisers and I'm starting to feel like the last holdout. Gonz

Still have to double check the battery and swap rectifiers again, but I did change out the plugs and still no love. I don't think the plug wires could be crossed since they're in order of where they come off the shared conduit (if that makes sense). It really sounds like it's missing though...

So talked to Glowshift sales and they said they absolutely do not recommend their gauges for motorcycles and are not in any way weather resistant. :( I really like the look of them up by the gauges though, and likely they'd be fairly protected from the elements so may just go for it and cross...

Just occurred to me looking at their site it doesn't say anything anywhere about cycles or about being weatherproof either. Those that have them, are you mounting under the windshield to protect from the elements? My current is mounted in the fuel tank skirt. Going to call the number tomorrow...
